Floorhead design

Dual counter-rotating soft rollers maintain a strong seal on hard floors and grab fine to extra-large debris in both directions, relying more on clever mechanics than raw suction for pickup.

The torque drive floorhead is praised for its balanced design that transitions smoothly between hard floors and carpet, letting most owners clean mixed surfaces without needing to swap heads.

The main cleaning head uses a large central gate, six smaller gates and felt squeegees around the perimeter to maintain a strong seal and handle a range of debris sizes on both carpet and hard floors.

Henry Extra’s practical floorheads include a newer low-energy carpet and floor nozzle that resists bulldozing and improves debris intake over the previous design, a slim dedicated hard floor head with soft bristles and front cutouts that prevent pushing debris across the room, and a turbo Airobrush, all of which are praised for performing very well in everyday use.

The floorhead is described as LED-lit with a wide intake plus V-shaped bristles and comb-style detangling; one review also highlights a front opening/notch that can be adjusted to reduce head lift on rugs while keeping pickup strong.

Flat, agile floorhead transitions smoothly across surfaces and fits into tight spaces; several reviews highlight smart floor sensing that ramps brush speed/suction, plus a low, swiveling profile for reaching under cabinets.

Absolute kits include a motorized brush head for carpets and a soft/fluffy roller for hard floors, with flexible joints for nimble steering; carpet agitation is strong, but the standard head can struggle with larger hard-floor crumbs, making the soft roller an important part of the kit.

The refreshed motorbar head is frequently highlighted: a combo head intended for both carpet and hard floors and equipped with detangling combs; some reviewers still prefer switching to a soft roller head for the cleanest hard-floor results.

Self-adjusting / turbine-style floorhead is effective on carpet and fine debris, with a low-clearance profile and transparent window; can push or stall on bulky debris, making tool choice important.

The Complete C3’s main floorheads, including the AllTeQ style nozzle, are designed to switch between hard floors and carpets while gliding smoothly and feeling robust, helping it clean a variety of surfaces comfortably.

The Kenmore 600’s main floorhead is a motorized brush roll with belt drive and height adjustment, giving strong carpet agitation and deep cleaning but adding weight and making manual hair removal necessary when the brushroll tangles.

ZeroTangle Power Brush design (gates and a V-shaped roller) is praised for multi-size pickup and hair handling; a few reviewers note corner/transition quirks and a harsher feel on some hard floors.

The Torque Drive floorhead uses stiff bristles/carbon fibers and a fast-spinning brush bar with adjustable intake gates, giving strong multi-surface agitation and large-debris handling; many users still prefer adding a soft roller head for the gentlest hard-floor cleaning.

The Motorbar/power brush head design is highlighted for detangling veins and strong agitation; it cleans well but can be too aggressive on lightweight rugs.

Updated floorhead combines a front soft roller with PowerFins in place of traditional bristles, improving contact with the floor and helping capture both fine dust and larger debris on multiple surfaces, though debris can occasionally collect behind the soft roller and need clearing.

Floorhead design is centered on the Jet Dual Brush for multi-surface use plus a Slim LED hard-floor head; performance is strong, but some reviewers report higher push resistance on carpet and more hair tangling than the best anti-tangle heads.

Direct-drive motorized head with a swiveling joint cleans carpets well and helps steer around obstacles; standard head is weaker on large hard-floor debris, while the Absolute fluffy head is frequently recommended for hard floors.

The core floorhead setup is frequently praised: Fluffy Optic for hard floors and Digital Motorbar XL for mixed floors/carpets. The XL Motorbar is wider (often cited around 25% wider than the Detect’s), improving coverage speed but sometimes slightly reducing deep-clean intensity due to suction being distributed across a wider opening.

The high-torque/Motorbar-style floorhead is praised for strong agitation and anti-tangle behavior, but several reviewers note tradeoffs: no soft roller on many versions, occasional debris scattering (especially with rice/cereal), and less effective pickup when pulling backward over some debris.

Two main floorheads cover hard floors and carpets; the carpet head may have limited swivel and can feel draggy on deep pile, while features like a large-debris flap/airflow relief improve usability once discovered.

The Multi-Floor XXL powerhead and interchangeable rollers are praised for broad coverage, automatic floor sensing, and good multi-surface performance; criticisms include limited articulation/steering, occasional snowplowing/flinging of large debris on hard floors, and hassle when swapping rollers.

Well-designed floorhead balances airflow and maneuverability, aiding debris pickup and steering.

Dual brush floorhead provides effective multi-surface agitation with a stable, easy-steer design.

The DuoClean floorhead combines a soft front roller and standard brushroll to handle both hard floors and carpets, reducing the need to swap heads mid clean.

The Classic C1’s combo floorhead includes a switchable brush strip and swiveling neck that let it handle hard floors and rugs capably, though its non-powered design feels basic and does not agitate thicker carpets as strongly as a motorized head.

The standard combi floorhead uses a foot switch to raise/lower brushes for carpet vs hard floors, which is simple but can feel stiff and somewhat basic in articulation. Some users report it can push larger debris on hard floors in certain settings, and many recommend adding a turbine/turbo brush for better carpet agitation.

Floorhead design notes include a fixed-height gate and brushroll on/off, supporting solid debris pickup and deep cleaning on typical carpets. Lack of height adjustment can make plush/shag harder to push, and one reviewer describes the cleaning path as narrower than average.

The power head design uses front cutouts, a fluffy strip and rubber-coated wheels to handle debris and protect floors, but the belt-side edge and vulnerable internal hose are weak spots.

Five brushroll heights and a gentle parquet head add flexibility across floors, but the Electro Plus head can stop when leaving rug edges and both heads struggle with large debris and tend to collect hair along the bristles.
